About this experience
Our international airport is situated on Reyknanes peninsula.
yet most our visitors drive straight to the city without experiencing the magic of this youngest part of our country and this is the place where we can basically walk over the bridge between two continents, from North America to Europe. The crack that goes through the Island starts right here. It is ideal to visit the Blue Lagoon on this route.
We will visit Gunnuhver, Brimketill as well as Reykjanesviti lighthouse where the Atlantic ridge rises above sea-level. It is ideal to stop at the small village named Grindavík where people have depended on fishing for centuries.
On our way back we can drive through Hafnarfjörður which is known for being the town of the hidden people. During the summer a Viking festival takes over this little town where people gather from the Nordic country’s all dressed up as Vikings.

Itinerary and highlights
Here you can actually walk between two continents where the Eurasian plate and the North American plate are drifting apart. The bridge is a symbol of the connection between Europe and North America.
the Blue Lagoon is located in about 800 years old lava field in the heart of the Reykjanes Peninsula. You must book your ticket yourself since it is very popular. It is wonderful to relax in the lagoon despite of the weather.
Gunnuhver is a hot spring named after a ghost.
Brimketill is probably the only place where you might want bad weather with a lot of wind, to see the waves break on Brimketil llava cliff
Hafnarfjörður is the 3rd largest town in Iceland. It is often referred to as the town of the hidden people. It is nice to explore the town by food, walk along the harbour checking out the museum, local artists that are located around the harbour.
Grindavík is a village that has depended on fishing for centuries. We will have hour lunch there by the harbour and enjoy the view.
